Only his folks wanted him to marry Edda Stout, She owned all the• bottom land nearly in Clarke county, He couldn't marry me until he was of age, on account o' his folks wantin' him to marry Edda, In a year he figures he can get all her money and then di- vorce her and marry me. Meanwhile he said. I might as well marry you, then when lie got all Edda's money I could divorce you and marry him. Said 'ou was about the most harmless male bein' in all Clarke County and no harm would come to me niarryin' you. He said if I married anybody else 1 might` fall in love with him and then he'd lose out." "So that was the way o' things! .1 remember. Jed did divorce Edda a year or so later. How come you never told me this before, Lil? And how come you decided not to divorce me and marry Jed after he got his di- vorce." "How come?" Maw said. "Well, Pop, I guess maybe you was kind o' responsible for that. Ain't no tellin' how a woman looks at things until she's hogtied to a man. I just kind o' forgot about jed. Money didn't matter • so much, after all. I found out it was the man that mattered. You kind o' had good ways, only they was the right kind. Made a girl think twice afore junipin' from the fryin' pan into the fire. You was good enough for nit, I found. If there was any better men's you, I wouldn't have no way a' knowin. o' course, Everything was so nice I didn't think it could be any nic- er, so I just decided to hang onto you and let fed root for himself." "By gum!" Pop exclaimed after a moment's reflection. "Now I am a-goin' to that keg openin' tonight if it kills me. And you're a-goin' with me, Lil. I won't have Jed thinkin' he didn't get cheated in the deal, consarn his clanged hide! If I go without you he'll think I don't care none about you, and I want to make him feel right good and jealous." "fed jealous after fifty-two years?" Maw said increduously. "Well, if he ain't he ought to he! Happy New Year„Mawl" "I'll go," Maw said, "but remember, Pop Levis, if you get drunk to-night I'll break the mop handle over your head when we get home—that is, if I'm still able to tell a flriop handle from a crowbar." 1121111111=0111110 anna's Ladies' Shopp-e tetetMltatMletCVMet-CL,'40=100MtVrklritMre QUILTED HOUSECOATS Striking numbers iii every detail.

"Don't you go usin' that clean towel, neither," Maw admanished, "That's for company, Use the rbiler towel.
